Since its establishment in 1981, School Sport Australia has been responsible for the development and promotion of school sport in Australia.

This has been achieved through the work of its State Member bodies which have accepted the responsibility of implementing School Sport Australia programs, assisting in policy development and providing, through their individual state networks, the maximum number of opportunities for students to participate in the broadest possible range of sporting activities.
